Cooks Illustrated

I've recently been introduced into the world of Cooks Illustrated, and even signed up for 1 year. I found some great recipes and all turned out delicious. One however could have turned out better. It turns out Cooks Illustrated has a handy iphone app, which of course I downloaded. You can look up a recipe, add the ingredients list to an easy shopping list, and then follow the recipe by phone as you cook. This would have been all fine and dandy if there hadnt been a major typo in the iphone version. I made the Poached Pear and Almond Tart. There are 3 different portions to this recipe, the poached pears, the crust, and the Frangipane filling. TWO of the 3 portions (the pears and the filling) had the same typo. On the iphone version it called for 5/6 tsp of salt. First off who has measuring spoons that can even do that? I thought it sounded like a lot, and didnt have the right spoons, so i put in 3/4 instead (so slightly less for those of you who dont feel like doing the math). I decided to taste the frangipane b/c I love almond flavored anything and it was super salty!!! I ran to my computer and sure enough it was supposed to call for 1/8 tsp instead! I dumped in a ton of sugar to both parts to try and compensate for my super salty tart. The tart ended up ok (esp since I love salty things), but I think next time will be better.
